This home is not to be missed! Flooded with natural light and brimming with top-of-the-line designer finishes, this pristine residence is the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern luxury. Ideally situated just steps from town, Sheridan Elementary, and LFHS, it offers exceptional convenience and lifestyle. Step onto the welcoming front porch and into a thoughtfully designed interior featuring 9' ceilings, hardwood floors, and expansive windows throughout. At the heart of the home, the Chef's kitchen is a true showstopper with: An oversized island with quartz countertops, 6-burner stainless steel range with grill, built-in banquette seating, and a stylish butler's pantry with Cambria quartz counters, hammered bar sink, and wine refrigerator. Perfect for everyday living or entertaining, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the Great Room with a gas fireplace and looks out to a beautifully reimagined outdoor space featuring a composite deck, paved patio, and expansive backyard. Versatile living spaces include a formal Dining Room, Living Room with pocket doors leading to a cozy library/play room, and a new addition mudroom with custom built-ins, quartz countertop, Zia Cotto herringbone tile, and a new LG washer/dryer. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite boasts a fireplace, a spa-like marble bath with Kohler soaking tub, separate shower, and a professionally organized walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, while the fourth bedroom offers an en-suite bath.
